While the UFC was on hiatus this week, that certainly didn’t stop the
promotion from making big news with several massive announcements,
including an unexpected shuffling of UFC 137’s blockbuster lineup.
And while Strikeforce’s grand prix rolled on and Bellator Fighting Championships and BAMMA each conducted well-received events this weekend, it was Nick Diaz’s removal from a UFC title shot that continued to garner the most attention.
Some argue the move was pre-meditated. Others say it was simply a
marketing move. But South Carolina’s Rob Yaeger believes the move was necessary and an example of why Diaz isn’t ready
to be a UFC champion.
